3. With whom will we share your information?

We may share your personal data with a third party where this is required by law or where we have another legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in doing so.

We may also need to share your personal data with:

• other entities within our group, namely Turtle Beach Germany GmbH as our representative, as part of our regular reporting activities, in the context of a business reorganisation or group restructuring exercise, for assistance in relation to marketing and business development or in connection with the operation of group-wide functions and services;
  
• professional advisers, including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers to the extent such information is relevant to their performance of their services;
  
• regulators and government bodies;
  
• IT service providers (such as cloud services providers, IT consultants and software-as-a-service providers); and
  
• any of our service providers where such information is relevant to their performance of such services.
  

Examples of who may process your personal data in different scenarios are set out below.

If you place an order through our website

Our website is currently operated by us and uses the Shopify online e-commerce platform. When you place an order, Shopify will process your payment details on our behalf. We neither store credit card details nor do we share financial details with any third parties. Please note that for purposes of processing your transaction for goods and services provided by us, we may share your name, physical and IP address with Shopify. You find Shopify’s Privacy Policy at https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy. In addition, please note Shopify’s White Paper on its international data transfers (https://help.shopify.com/pdf/cross-border-whitepaper.pdf). As stated in this White Paper, Shopify’s global platform, Shopify International Ltd. (an Irish entity) may transfer EEA personal data to Shopify Inc. (a Canadian entity) that may then share such data sets with sub-processors in Canada and other countries, such as the United States. For these transfers Shopify does not rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Instead, Shopify transfers the relevant data sets pursuant to the requirements of PIPEDA (the Canadian privacy law), which the European Commission has determined provides adequate data protection under the GDPR, and subject to specific contractual agreements. Please consult the mentioned White Paper that also includes FAQ and a diagram illustrating the flow of data of European residents, and how Shopify ensures protection for each step. Please also note that to the extent that you open your own account with Shopify, Shopify may act as its own independent data controller for your personal data and may use such data for other or additional purposes based on their Privacy Policy.

If you sign up to receive e-mail marketing from us (controller only Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc.)

When you sign up for our e-mail communications, your personal data is processed by Bronto , an email service provider and subsidiary of Oracle Netsuite, with its corporate address at 2300 Oracle Way, Austin, Texas 78741, United States. Bronto (www.bronto.com) acts as data processor on our behalf and processes your personal data on our instructions. Bronto has implemented EU Standard Contractual Clauses and other appropriate measures to comply with the EU data transfer rules (Art. 46 GDPR). The European Commission has certified that the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, in addition with other measures to safeguard the data, provide an adequate level of protection in respect of personal data.

We may also share your personal data with third parties in the context of the possible sale or restructuring of our business. We may also need to share your personal data with a regulator or to otherwise comply with applicable law or judicial process or if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protection our rights and/or to comply with judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal inquiries.

We are based in the USA (Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc.) and in the UK (Turtle Beach Europe Ltd.). Your personal data may be held by us or our service providers in the USA or in the UK. Sometimes we may also transfer your personal data to other jurisdictions outside the European Economic Area (‘EEA’). For example, we may use cloud service providers who store personal data on servers in jurisdictions outside the EEA.

The European Commission has not finally determined that the laws of the USA and of the UK generally provide an adequate level of protection in respect of personal data. Other non-EEA jurisdictions may similarly not provide the same level of protection in respect of personal data as in the EEA. Where required by the GDPR, we will (or will require a processor to) put in place appropriate safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. We also use EU Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your personal data that Turtle Beach Germany may share with Turtle Beach Europe after BREXIT.

5. Right to withdraw your consent

As indicated above, we rely on your consent as our legal basis to send you e-mail marketing. You have the right to withdraw your consent to this processing at any time.

To withdraw your consent where you have previously consented to direct marketing, you can unsubscribe from direct marketing communications from us by:

• clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any e-mail communication that we send you; or
• contacting us using the contact details listed below.

Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose to which you originally consented unless we now have an alternative legal basis for doing so.

6. How long will we retain your information?

We will retain your personal data and other information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements and our legitimate interests in maintaining such personal information in our records. For this we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

For example, we may retain the personal data we use for sending direct marketing email to you for so long as you subscribe to our e-mail mailing list. You can unsubscribe from direct marketing communications from us at any time as explained in Section 5 above. We may also remove such personal data in circumstances where you have not unsubscribed, such as where our e-mails to you are failing to deliver to your e-mail address or if you consistently do not open the e-mails that we send.

Once we no longer require your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely destroy your personal data or anonymize them in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Alternatively, the information may be anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal data.
